- Europe has emerged as one of the major producers of organic crops, with 420,000 organic producers as of 2020. In 2022, Europe accounted for 41.7% of the global organic fertilizer market, a testament to the region's dominance in this field. The region's primary crops include wheat, maize, rye, barley, sugar beet, and potatoes, with row crops accounting for the majority of organic fertilizer consumption.
- Europe's organic agricultural acreage has been increasing steadily, with a growth rate of 7.1% from 4.9 million hectares in 2017 to 6.9 million hectares in 2022. This is largely due to the European Commission's objective of increasing the share of organic agriculture to a minimum of 25.0% of the EU's agricultural land by 2030.
- The European Union (EU) is currently revising its fertilizer Regulation for the first time since 2003, aiming to make it easier for new fertilizing products, particularly those containing nutrients or organic matter recycled from biowaste or other secondary raw materials, to enter the market. The new regulation will also establish safety and quality standards for fertilizing products sold in all EU countries. Organic-based fertilizers, with their circular and resource-efficient nature, are precisely the type of fertilizing products targeted by the new regulation.
- Europe's significant presence in the global organic fertilizers market, combined with the region's commitment to increasing the share of organic agriculture, presents a promising future for the organic fertilizers market in Europe. With the upcoming revision of the Fertilizer Regulation, the industry is expected to witness a surge in innovation and growth, providing opportunities for various stakeholders to expand their businesses.
Europe Organic Fertilizer Market Trends
European Green Deal is majorly contributing for increasing organic cultivation.
- European countries are increasingly promoting organic farming, and the amount of land categorized as organic has increased significantly over the last decade. In March 2021, the European Commission launched an organic action plan to achieve the European Green Deal target of ensuring that 25% of agricultural land is under organic farming by 2030. Austria, Italy, Spain, and Germany are among the leading countries for organic agriculture in the European region. In Italy, 15.0% of the agriculture area is under organic farming, which is higher than the EU average of 7.5%.
- In 2021, there were 14.7 million hectares of organic land in the European Union (EU). The agricultural production area is divided into three main types of use: arable land crops (mainly cereals, root crops, and fresh vegetables), permanent grassland, and permanent crops (fruit trees and berries, olive groves, and vineyards). The area of organic arable land was 6.5 million hectares in 2021, the equivalent of 46% of the EU's total organic agricultural area.
- The organic areas of cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, and pulses in the European Union increased by 32.6% between 2017 and 2021, reaching more than 1.6 million hectares. With 1.3 million hectares under cultivation, perennial crops like Olives, grapes, almonds, and citrus fruits accounted for 15% of the organic land in the region in 2020. Spain, Italy, and Greece are major growers of organic olive trees, with an area of 256,507, 208,212, and 56,507 hectares, respectively, in 2021. Both olives and grapes are crucial for the European economy as they can be turned into specialty products that generate demand locally and internationally. The growing organic acreage in the region is expected to further strengthen the European organic cultivation industry.

- Consumers in Europe are purchasing more goods made using natural materials and methods. Even though organic food only makes up a small fraction of the total EU agricultural production, it is no longer a niche industry. The European Union represents the second-largest single market for organic goods internationally, with an average per capita spending of USD 74.8 annually. The per capita spending on organic food in Europe has doubled in the last decade. In 2020, Swiss and Danish consumers spent the most on organic food (USD 494.09 and USD 453.90 per capita, respectively).
- Germany is the largest organic food market in the European region and the second largest in the world after the United States, with a market size of USD 6.3 billion and a per capita consumption of USD 75.6 in 2021, as per Global Organic Trade data. The country accounted for 10.0% of the global organic food demand, with its share estimated to record a CAGR of 2.7% between 2021 and 2026.
- The French organic food market witnessed strong growth, with a 12.6% rise in retail sales in 2021. The country's per capita spending on organic food was recorded at USD 88.8 in 2021, as per Global Organic Trade data. In 2018, as recorded by the Agence BIO/Spirit Insight Barometer, 88% of French people declared having consumed organic products. Preserving health, environment, and animal welfare are the primary justifications for consumers of organic foods in France.
